    Transgender weight lifter injured

    Commonwealth Games: New Zealand's Laurel Hubbard out of the weightlifting through injury - BBC Sport

    Sorry, what kind of ****ed up PC world are we living in now? How can it be fair for this individual to be allowed to compete against women.

    Is it any surprise that he/she/it (or which ever gender neutral nonsense applies) was favorite to win the Gold medal.

    I'm all for gender equality, but this is beyond a joke.

      This is a tricky one, there was a similar story recently about a trans wrestler winning a tournament that was met with some hostility:

      Mack Beggs wants to wrestle boys, but Texas rules won't let him

      For the second year in a row, a transgender wrestler has won the Texas girls' Class 6A 110-pound division.

      Mack Beggs, 18, a senior at Euless Trinity High School near Dallas, entered the tournament in Cypress outside Houston with an undefeated record. He beat Chelsea Sanchez — whom he beat for the title in 2017— in the final match Saturday.

      Video posted online showed a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd following Beggs' win.
      This trans stuff is all great and very right on when it suits people who like to virtue signal a lot - until actual real world situation come around like this and using the other gender's bathroom/changing rooms when reality kicks in.

          I thought this was done and dusted back in the 70s with Renee (formerly Richard Raskind) Richards. She was refused to play in womens' tournaments due to being a man without any manhood.

          It's the reason why all Olympic athletes are sex-tested.

          Bonus prize for anyone who can answer the question about which sports-person was the only one to not have the sex test?

            Not exactly a natural. But, with practice, eventually she took on all comers.

              I honestly don't get the issue about toilets. At our local parkrun, the men's was shut and both men and women were using the ladies - guess what - the world did not end! (although the queues were rather long!)

                Womens toilets are in cubicles. It actually upsets men more - well male bouncers - when myself and my friends' use to use the mens loos at clubs because they were empty and there was a queue for the ladies. Oh and we would get out quickly if a man wanted to use the urinals.

                  It’s faintly ridiculous, I say let everyone compete in the same competition. Stops all the moaning.

                    As a Black transgender vegan of American / Chinese decent, I'm offended by your post.
